Assemblywoman Young Kim Invites Community to “Stuff the Bus” for Orange County Students in Anaheim and Stanton

FULLERTON – Assemblywoman Young Kim (R-Fullerton) today launched the 2015 “Stuff the Bus” school donation drive to provide new school supplies to benefit K-12 students in the Anaheim and Stanton areas. Kim, along with the community partners, encourage the community to come out and generously donate pens, paper, backpack, notebooks, crayons, tissues, rulers, and other basic supplies needed at every level to help the students and families who struggle to provide them.

Stuff the Bus will help parents who may struggle to afford basic supplies. “Every child deserves a quality education to help them reach their academic potential. Stuff the Bus is a grass-roots effort to help provide the resources students and families need to help make this possible for many,” said Kim. “I encourage the community to generously donate the much-needed supplies, and I also thank my community partners for joining me in this effort,” she added.

All supplies collected will be distributed to students in Anaheim and Stanton at the conclusion of the drive.

“Giving Children Hope is thrilled to partner with Assemblywoman Kim and community sponsors to encourage the donation of school supplies for students in need,” said Christine Sanchez, Director of Community Programs for Giving Children Hope. “The Stuff the Bus Drive makes a difference for our students and is another example of our community’s ongoing commitment to support Anaheim and Stanton schools.”

Donations of new school supplies will be collected at the following drop-off locations between July 31 and August 21:

Other community supporters include Giving Children Hope; City of Stanton; St Jude; Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce; Vietnamese American Chamber of Commerce; Disneyland Resort; St. Irenaeus Catholic Church; and American Textile Recycling Services. Generous individuals who donate school supplies are encouraged to make their support known on social media, using the hashtag #stuffthebus as they donate items and encourage others to do the same.

Kim represents the 65th Assembly District, which includes the communities of Buena Park, Cypress, Fullerton, La Palma, Stanton, and West Anaheim.
